CITRUS BLOOM COCKTAIL 🍊🍹

The SPROUT Citrus Bloom cocktail is a refreshing choice for those seeking vibrant citrus flavours without the alcohol. This delightful blend combines the zesty taste of fresh orange and lime with the floral lift of elderflower, all balanced by Clovendoe SPROUT ZERO’s botanicals. Perfect for a sunny afternoon or a celebratory evening, the Citrus Bloom is light, sophisticated, and made for mindful sipping.

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE CITRUS BLOOM

The Citrus Bloom is inspired by the classic citrus cocktails that bring together fresh flavours, simplicity, and a touch of elegance. Traditionally, citrus-based drinks have been prized for their refreshing qualities and natural brightness, making them popular choices in sunny, warm climates. In Australia, we celebrate this heritage by pairing local, sustainably sourced botanicals with vibrant ingredients like blood orange and lime. Clovendoe’s SPROUT ZERO is crafted to be a zero-alcohol option that maintains a rich, complex profile, letting you enjoy the refreshing depth of citrus without compromising on quality or experience.

RECIPE AND STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Ingredients:

50 ml Clovendoe SPROUT ZERO
30 ml fresh orange juice (blood orange for a tart, beautiful hue)
15 ml fresh lime juice
10 ml elderflower cordial (or syrup) for a floral lift
Top with soda water (or add a splash of Prosecco for a festive sparkle)
Garnish: Orange twist and a sprig of fresh mint

Instructions:

Combine Clovendoe SPROUT ZERO, orange juice, lime juice, and elderflower cordial in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well until chilled.
Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice.
Top with soda water (or Prosecco, for an added sparkle) and gently stir.
Garnish with an orange twist and a sprig of mint for a refreshing aroma and visual appeal.
Note: Blood orange juice brings a unique colour and a slightly tart finish, perfect for enhancing SPROUT’s botanical profile.
